Oneiros

I placed your corpse into the crematory 

of my consciousness as I sang a solemn dirge 

before turning my back and falling silent 

forlorn as the flames consumed your flesh

leaving behind brittle bones I pulverized 

into powder blending it with the ashes 

pondering over the proper place to scatter them

perhaps the summit of the mountain we scaled

or the celestine sea that together we sailed 

westward into the sunset while serenely I slept 

vainly wishing I would never wake
